    Thank you James for all your knowledge and enthusiastic information! My husband, Doug and I LOVE ALL your videosđŸ€© We found your video on tomato clips and have loved them for these last 2 years. We have one difference though in that our garden pen had a fencing top about 2 ft wide and that is where the tomato vines grow. All the vines will lay and grow on top even the butternut squash! Also really help the heavy fruit to hang. This is just a welded wire. Again, thank you for ALL your education as we always learn something!

      Your older bed you might want to replace the top board that holds the string rollers. I was using a 2x 12 as my top runner and after 4 years the weight of my tomato plants snapped the board in 2. This really sucked mid summer it was so hard to re do this when the plants weigh so much. Hopefully you do not have to go through this. Most of my plants didn't recover completely

I'll be giving most of them away. But, i really enjoy getting them started. I have to grow in containers, due to gophers or groundhogs, and due to back problems.

    I have those same clips! Been using them to train my tomatoes and tomatillos on a 16'x4' cattle panel I have going down the middle of my two 4'x8' beds. I wanted to use the cattle panel as arch elsewhere next year. Now the hubby has another garden project to help me with next Spring!
    Also, I have some tomatoes in ground in separate area of our gardens. I did a sort or short version of the Florida weave. I'm 5'3" so trellises for some stuff has been a challenge!
    Definitely trying this next season!
